Laws of Motion Assessment

Front

What is the net force when two forces are applied in the same direction?

Back

You add the forces together.

Front

What is the net force when you push a box 35 N to the right and your friend pushes it 25 N in the same direction?

Back

60 N unbalanced to the right.

Front

What do objects with more mass require to move?

Back

More force.

Front

What does inertia depend upon?

Back

The amount of mass.

Front

Who formulated the laws of motion?

Back

Newton.

Front

If two forces are acting in opposite directions, how do you find the net force?

Back

You subtract the smaller force from the larger force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force required to accelerate an object?

Back

More mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What happens to the net force if two equal forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero, and the forces are balanced.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).
